[criterioncollection]

When I started with Hoop Dreams, if you didn’t have money, you had to find someone who had a great camera and hopefully was good with it to commit to your project without compensation, or much compensation, and you had to find a place like Kartemquin that would allow you to come in and edit and take you under their wing. You had to find ways to get around not having money to make your film, and that’s changed. You can have a pretty inexpensive camera that shoots pretty great images now, and you can edit on your laptop—so there’s a lot of young filmmakers who are craving a filmmaking community, because they may be out there just doing it kind of on their own. And I think one of the great things that Kartemquin has to offer to filmmakers these days, which won’t go away because of technological changes, is that sense of a community of filmmakers who will both help you make your film but also can look at what you’re doing and give you honest and constructive feedback and help you become a better filmmaker.

We spoke with filmmaker Steve James for the 50th anniversary of Kartemquin Films
